Springtime Scenes card with video & free project sheet

I shared this card last week with a video and a free project sheet. Think of using any designer paper you own. It’s a great layout!

I chose the Easter Joy Specialty paper inspired me with the color theme. Shy Shamrock with Balmy Blue & White. Unusual but it sure works!

It’s a simple ‘fold back’ fun fold where you add one extra score line at 2 3/4″ to this 11″ X 4 1/4″ card base. Of course it’s scored in half at 5 1/2″ as well. I cut the Balmy Blue layer to perfectly layer onto the inside White. It gives the illusion of multiple layers.

That pretty die-cut leaf is from the Pleasant Patterns specialty paper seen here. For my stamps & the leaf die I used the Springtime Scenes bundle seen here. I love this set with the neat dies and stamps.

Here’s the free project sheet for this card. Click here to print or download it.

• January Hearts for You alternative card idea

  January 31, 2025

  ---

  Today I'm sharing an alternative project I made with the January Hearts for You Paper Pumpkin kit. 

  

  Everything you see here is in the kit. The only thing I added was a Real Red Blends marker that I used to change the color of the champagne foil heart to Red.  It's fun to experiment a bit!

  

  Below you'll see the 9 projects recommended in the kit.  They're gorgeous as is but I like to show alternative ideas just in case you want to get creative with the products.  It is really fun to change things up at times. 

  

  Once you're a Paper Pumpkin customer you can choose to get any of the extra refills or add on items. The refills do not include the stamps or ink spot but everything else!  And they're usually only $12. Wow!  See this one here

• A unique fun fold card swap with Hugs for Love with Bloom Impressions

  January 30, 2025

  ---

  Tracey made this stunning card for our January Team card swap.  I love her colors and layout so much! 

  

  Her card layout was inspired by Rachel Tessman and chose to use a Petunia Pop with Blackberry Bliss color combination. 

  She featured the Hugs for Love bundle and the Bloom Impressions designer series paper (free during Sale-a-Bration with a qualifying purchase from Stampin' Up!  See this gorgeous paper here. 

  It's hard to tell in the photo above that it's a fancy fold card isn't it?  

  

  The right flap tucks under the diagonal Designer Paper and To the Point greeting punches.  

  The measurements for the card base is 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 1 1/4" (fold back) and 5 1/2".  Both front flaps are textured.  

  Below is the Hugs for Love bundle that includes the To the Point punch.  I love, love this punch so much!  *heads up; this punch is now in low inventory; grab it while you can! 

  

  There's another stamp set that coordinates with this fabulous punch too.  It's called Bright Borders.

• Make the most of your card stock & DSP with this Timeless Plaid fun fold card

  January 29, 2025

  ---

  Today I'm sharing one more easy fun fold card featuring the Timeless Plaid 6" Designer Series Paper.  

  

  I love this card layout because it makes great use of both your card stock and designer paper.  My colors include Basic Beige with Pretty Peacock.  The greeting and stitched edge die-cut are from the Mixed Labels bundle seen here. 

  

  The card base is 11" X 4 1/4"; scored at 5 1/2". Trim off one end at 3 1/4" and cut it into a square.  Next add a 3" square of DSP to that. You'll add that as the layer over the left side of the card (after adding a 2" X 4" piece of DSP).  So simple! 

  I shared 3 fun fold cards on last week's video.  If you like fun fold cards I hope you'll access the free project sheets for them all here.
